That Man

He's beautiful

In a tragic sort of way

Two men

Lost in each other

All over again

It never ends

The bottomless pit they fall in

As they fall in love

All over again

There is no end

To this love

He smells like leather

And his hazel eyes

Sparkle

When he laughs

He doesn't laugh enough

That's what he thinks

As he holds him close

Holding on

To the one thing

That ever fed his hopes

Instead of killing them

He's nothing but a broken man

Damaged by the past

A ghost

Or so he was

He moved in and out

Barely there

He could feel the pain everywhere

In every pore

But then there he was

And it was just enough

To save him

From himself

So they take it

Day by day

Just another way

To cope with the pain

They both deal with

Just another reminder

It's all the same

But neither sleep with ghosts

And they're so close

Only a breath apart

And it's enough

To mend the worst off hearts

As they settle down together

In the dark

In the heat

In the passion that wraps them up

Like the strong arms

Wrapped around each other

So he breathes

He breathes out

And suddenly

It's easy

It's all going to be okay again

He doesn't know how

But right now

With his hands on him

And his lips on his skin

He knows

That no matter where this love goes

He'll never be alone

He'll never be that man

Ever again
